Upper West Sider Gennaro Hathaway-Tillotson specializes in residential sales and rentals throughout New York City. His extensive knowledge of real estate, combined with an innate curiosity about the neighborhoods he serves, provides valuable market insights that he enjoys sharing with his clients. Motivated, detail-oriented, and client-focused, Gennaro is dedicated to delivering an exceptional customer experience at every stage of the real estate process.
Before entering real estate, Gennaro served as in-house counsel for several luxury brands, worked as a private business consultant, contributed to multiple publications as a writer, and taught as an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac University for more than eight years.
Gennaro lived and worked on the Upper West Side for seven years and has developed a deep appreciation for the neighborhood’s architecture, culture, and community. Among his recent successes are the sale of 320 Riverside Drive, which sold in just three days for above asking price, and 205 West 89th Street at Astor Court, an estate property that he coordinated for clearing, preparation, and staging before securing a sale within the first month on the market.
Three years ago, Gennaro moved to the historic Hamilton Heights neighborhood to be part of its ongoing renaissance. Since then, he has successfully represented clients in transactions on Striver’s Row and participated in two townhouse renovation projects, further expanding his expertise in the uptown Manhattan market.
A passionate advocate for community engagement and inclusion, Gennaro has extensive volunteer experience in fundraising, event planning, and community outreach. He is Vice President of the Board of the New York Chapter of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance, a founding member of both the New York Chapter and the national LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance and a proud supporter of Stop Hate in Real Estate. Gennaro recognized a need for LGBTQ outreach within the Sell It community and established Sell It With Pride in 2025
When he is not exploring New York City with his husband, Gennaro enjoys reading, cooking, attending the theater, and discovering new restaurants. He is also the proud father of a 28-year-old son whom he adopted from Cambodia as a single dad, who served 4 years in the Navy, is a graduate of Villanova, and is starting his master’s in Commercial Real Estate Development at Georgetown University. Gennaro is also an active member of the Episcopal Church.
